<!-- BEGIN DESCRIPTION -->
<div>   This module evaluates the change of mass mixing ratio of sea salt
   particles due to their emission at the ocean surface, and the removal by
   gravitational settling. The sea salt particles are transported as dry
   particles. Therefore, some conversion from wet to dry and vice-et-versa
   are consdered.
   The size distribution of sea salt ranges from 0.1 to 10 um (dry radius)
   and is divided into 5 bins. For each bin, the volume size distribution
   dV/dlnr is considered constant. </div>
